Password for backups changing

I did a search and only found a few deadended threads on the subject, so I apologize if this has already been discussed.

The problem I am having is the password that I entered using AES-256bit on a backup script is getting changed to a bunch of random symbols and the backup .zip file cannot be opened using the original password entered.

Sorry for digging up an old post but we are encountering the same problem again. I created a test backup job and ran it, downloaded the .zip it created from the FTP and was able to extract the file using the password I specified when creating the Job “password”. After I ran the job a second time and downloaded the newly created .zip and tried to open it, it told the password was incorrect. Upon the opening the job I noticed that the password “password” had changed to “adyÁq‡ü–c’ ‘ýº²¼Œ)é8ô,_Ø´Í44ý%zªó}gfÔ/½’r)½J0° „)Ñ½[~l §censored{{>°5#ý¥œ›vQÃ”òÈw_ù+1+L!-ÞÓwX¦ðCé«”.

thanks a lot… that password is AES encrypted, so thats why it appears like that (so nobody can simply take your pbs and easily find out what the password is)… but it seems it is either not saved correctly or not read correctly, which is why you get garbage… we will update the thread once we have more info!
